Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent oral health problems among preschool children, largely driven by inadequate knowledge and poor oral hygiene habits. Preliminary assessments at TK B Dharma Wanita Talang II Tulungagung revealed that 42% of students possessed insufficient knowledge regarding dental caries, highlighting the need for engaging and developmentally appropriate educational interventions. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dental Health Monopoly (MOKEGI) game in improving preschool children’s knowledge of dental caries. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group was employed, involving 46 preschool children who were divided equally into intervention and control groups. Knowledge levels were measured using a validated and reliable questionnaire, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney U test. The findings demonstrated substantial improvement in knowledge within the intervention group after exposure to the MOKEGI game, with all children (100%) achieving a “good” knowledge category post-intervention. In contrast, the control group showed only moderate improvement, with 56.5% reaching the “sufficient” category and none attaining the “good” category. Statistical results confirmed significant differences within the intervention group (p < 0.001) and between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.001). These outcomes indicate that MOKEGI is highly effective as an interactive, game-based educational tool for improving preschool children’s understanding of dental caries. In conclusion, the MOKEGI game provides an engaging and effective medium for enhancing oral health knowledge among young children and holds potential for integration into early childhood health education programs. Future research should assess long-term knowledge retention, behavioral changes, and applicability across diverse school settings.

Abstract

Elderly individuals commonly experience physiological, psychological, and social changes that hinder their ability to maintain optimal oral and dental health. Low self-efficacy, combined with insufficient social support, has been identified as a major contributor to poor oral-health behaviors among older adults, particularly in underserved rural communities. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between social support and self-efficacy in maintaining oral and dental health among elderly residents in Sebalong Village, Nguling District, Pasuruan, in 2024. An analytical cross-sectional design was employed, involving 33 elderly participants selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using two standardized instruments: the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) and the Geriatric Self-Efficacy Scale for Oral Health (GSEOH), both of which demonstrated high reliability. Descriptive statistics were used to categorize social support and self-efficacy levels, while Spearman’s rank correlation test was applied to examine the relationship between the variables. The findings indicated that most respondents received moderate social support (mean = 13.78), whereas their self-efficacy levels were predominantly low (mean = 29.0). The correlation analysis showed a statistically significant positive relationship between social support and self-efficacy (p = 0.028; r = 0.383), suggesting that higher social support is associated with improved confidence in performing oral-health maintenance behaviors. These results highlight the need for community-based interventions that strengthen emotional, instrumental, informational, and esteem support for elderly individuals. Enhancing social support networks may serve as a practical strategy to improve oral-health behaviors and overall well-being among older adults in rural settings. Strengthened collaboration among families, local health workers, and community programs is recommended to ensure sustainable improvements in elderly oral-health maintenance.

Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that affects various aspects of health, including dental and oral health. Diabetes and periodontitis are the most prevalent human diseases. Diabetes worsens the periodontal condition, but periodontitis also hampers glycemic control in diabetic patients. The study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge of oral health maintenance and the incidence of periodontitis among elderly patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) at the Tanah Kalikedinding Health Center, Surabaya. The cross-sectional study involved 46 elderly participants diagnosed with T2DM. Data were collected using a dental and oral health maintenance knowledge questionnaire and the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN). The majority of respondents were women (73.9%) aged 60-70 years (91.3%), with most having only a junior high school education (47.8%). Knowledge levels were generally low, with 54.35% of respondents classified as having poor knowledge. Most respondents (80.4%) had severe periodontitis, as indicated by CPITN scores. The Pearson correlation test revealed no significant relationship between knowledge levels and CPITN scores (r = -0.134, p = 0.374), suggesting that knowledge about dental and oral health maintenance does not significantly influence the incidence of periodontitis in this sample. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive interventions to improve dental and oral health among elderly T2DM patients, focusing not only on increasing knowledge but also improving access to dental care and promoting healthy lifestyle practices. These efforts are essential to reducing the prevalence of severe periodontitis in this vulnerable population.
